  • Odds ratio of my interaction variable is too big

    Hello,

    I am writing my research on the determinants of bribing. I am using interaction variables in my logistic regression. My data is from a survey with oversampling in six regions. After reading in this forum that I could use [control = pweight] in my command, I decided not to use svy: set, since I need to report my pseudo R2.
    However, now I am not quite sure about the result, because I think the odds ratio of the interaction variable kis##health is too big. I am quite new with stata and statistic. Thus I need your advice on this matter.
    Both my interaction variables are dummy: KIS = poor people = 1; health : poor perception on quality of health service = 1

    my output is

    Is there anything wrong with the data? Before I use the controls pweight the odds ratio is 7.

    If there is nothing wrong: Is it right if I interpret it as: the odds ratio of poor people with poor perception on health service ten times more likely to bribe than not poor people with good perception on the health service. I find this sentence is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it.
